katiez - payment info

Is this a subscription/recurring payment?

You can take a look at this guide: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions

[wooden rune]

is this how?

[distant spade]

Yes

Take a look at that guide I shared. It should be what you need

[wooden rune]

\this isn't it

[distant spade]

Can you elaborate more on what you're trying to do then?

[wooden rune]

I need to be able to bill the customer when we want to approximately a few weeks later. That way they aren't paying for a service that doesn't begin right away

[distant spade]

Ok. Is it still a subscription service though?

[wooden rune]

maybe....what does that mean exactly

[distant spade]

So is the payment that you are going to bill them a few weeks later a one-time payment? Or will it be re-curring (like monthly, yearly, etc.)?

[wooden rune]

it will be reoccuring monthly until the customer cancels that subscription

[distant spade]

Ah ok I gotcha. So there's a couple ways you can do this. You could use a trial period to wait to bill the customer: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-trial_end. Or you could use a subscription schedule: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-start_date

questions

[distant spade]

Ok I see. So I recommend starting with that subscription doc I shared at the very top of this thread

From there, we can discuss fine tuning to your use-case
